Picking your nose is thought to be more socially unacceptable than smoking because when one digs in their nose, they are essentially doing so to pull something out. The object in which is taken from the nose, is thought to be disgusting and full of germs. Smoking, though equally as disgusting to most, is more socially acceptable because it has been thought that it does not negatively impact people surrounding the smoker. Although through recent studies, that is no longer the same view as many restaurants and public places have banned smoking in public areas due to the negative impact to other peoples' health through second hand smoke.

The frequent drinking in excess of alcohol is considered now a serious problem. Many physicians even consider it a disease.
